What do you know about Pangaea​

Answer 1

Answer:

pangea is a super continent which was surrounded by panthalassa and lies in the southern hemisphere of the earth during the late paleozic and mesozoic periods

Answer 2

Answer:

• About 300 million years ago, Earth didn't have seven continents, but instead one massive super continent or one land called Pangaea, which was surrounded by a single ocean called Panthalassa.

• The explanation for Pangaea's formation ushered in the modern theory of plate tectonics, which posits that the Earth's outer shell is broken up into several plates that slide over Earth's rocky shell, the mantle.

• There have been three major phases in the break-up of Pangaea. The rifting that took place between North America and Africa produced multiple failed rifts. One rift resulted in a new ocean, the North Atlantic Ocean.

• The Atlantic Ocean did not open uniformly; rifting began in the north-central Atlantic. The South Atlantic did not open until the Cretaceous when Laurasia started to rotate clockwise and moved northward with North America to the north, and Eurasia to the south which later became the Arctic Ocean.
• Actually India should be a part of western country, but the land was broken and it came to Asian country
